Welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Schedule Preview for November 4-10. Week three of the NBA season is here, and so is Election Day! The NBA will take a hiatus on Tuesday to allow space for the Election process, which gives fans a heavy dose of NBA on Monday and Wednesday. If your team is dealing with injuries and stacking up “DNPs,” this will be a welcome shift. General managers can go toe-to-toe with their competition early this week to see where they stand. When Thursday rolls around, managers will know if they must stack their schedule with streaming or let it ride. Check out the schedule below and review the fantasy streaming options for the low nights on Thursday and Saturday.

Fantasy Basketball Streamers
It’s election day in America! The NBA is taking off Tuesday to give space for the election process. For fantasy, we are packed with games on Monday and Wednesday. Streaming isn’t necessary until Thursday and Saturday, but there are two advantages you can exploit:
- Position yourself early in the week to stack your schedule before other managers are tracking.
- Practice patience and determine the categories you need after a full Monday and Wednesday slate.
Both options are effective depending on your current needs. There are three teams this week that can give you games on Thursday and Saturday. Check them out below and make some moves!
CHICAGO BULLS (MON/WED/THURS/SAT)
- Jalen Smith (PF/C): Smith is in a modest role as the backup center in Chicago but can add value in points, threes, and rebounds. If he were ever to start and push 25 minutes per game, Smith could put up some great statistics but temper expectations for this week.
- Patrick Williams (PF): There is much left to be desired from Patrick Williams. He is relevant because of his potential, but he doesn’t produce. The value here is his ability to get you one three, one steal, and one block each time he plays.
- Ayo Dosunmu (SG): Since Lonzo left the lineup, Ayo has begun to carve out a niche off the bench. Points, rebounds, and assists are all possible if he continues to get playing time. Ayo is Worth checking in on if you need assists in deeper leagues.
SAN ANTONIO SPURS (MON/WED/THURS/SAT)
- Harrison Barnes (PF): Barnes will not give you immense upside, but that’s not what you need if you read this. Barnes has a stable role and has already put up big lines this season. He is primarily a streak scorer but can add threes and rebounds as well. He will occasionally disappear, but he makes for a stable stream if you need one.
- Julian Champagnie (SF): Champagnie gives you a tiny boost in rebounds and steals and occasionally can erupt for threes and points—deep league stream.
- Keldon Johnson (SF): Points and rebounds. Keldon can get hot and go for twenty-plus at any moment. He offers little else.
UTAH JAZZ (MON/THURS/SAT)
- Collin Sexton (PG/SG): Sexton has not established himself this year but remains a great scoring guard with an upside in assists. Whether off the bench or from the starting lineup, Sexton scores efficiently and makes for a great pickup this week, especially with Clarkson injured.
